[Q] Can i go for a xperia J????

Hi guys,
Im new to this forum and im going to buy my first android mobile. Im thinking to go for xperia j. I've gone through all the specs of this but still im slightly doubtful if this will get lagged after upgrading to JB.
My usage is
Hardcore gamer in pc but not in mobile. Will play in mobile bit rarely.
Heavy browsing and social networking.
App lover.... will install lots of apps.
not a big fan of mobile video recording.
Clicks pictures occasionally.
Does a lot of IM.
So now somebody pleaase tell me if i can go for xperia j. If not, what alternatives do i have.

android 4.1 will bring performance improvements like project butter = Vsync tripple buffering & intuitive touch. the internel memory is only 2gb. & app data partition is 750mb i think but there are ways around that to install more if needed. all other alternative devices like u & sola wont be updated to 4.1 jelly bean. i my self came from xperia ray i find xperia j better. with a few tweak scripts and things its alot faster than when i first got it. hope this clarifies things for you.

No mafter buddy if it will be jelly bean
My friends have problems with this mobile
Also it is of around 300$ still not capable of playing 720p videos
Also it has 480*854 resolution but it has andreno 200 which is quite outdated for this price
Better go for xperia u(no sd card support), xperia go, xperia sola
Samsung galaxy ace 2 these are far better for same price perform 3 times faster than xperia j:victory:
I am also a hardcore gamer on pc
But I use android for playing also when I am not on pc
As it got some exactly same games like pc
Mc3(battlefied 2) max payne 1, GTA vice city etc and the mobiles I suggested u will run these games ultra smooth

which mobile are u using nishuy21??
im not much concerned about 720p videos....thats ok for me.....
i do some serious multi tasking.... n i dont wanna get any lag while i do...this is my major concern..

More cores don't mean better performance my girlfriend has a xperia u and it lags and the screen redrawing is rediculase. I game a lot on my j and the only game it struggled is GTA my Xperia ray did aswell untill I overclocked it to 1.2ghz and then it was fine.

im using this J almost 2 month..
nothing goes wrong so far
wide screen
beauty device , slim elegant
and its cheap
if you want to stay in stock firmware , locked , just use V6 Super Charger make ur J peform better
based 512MB ram , 1GHz single core , i say its not for gaming , but i play a lot game on it LOL
i use EPSX there, lil bit lag only , some HD game , lil bit delay too , but low game , working fine..
if u decided to to unlock bootloader
theres is a Kernel ICS Vengeance overclocked it to 1.3GHz , its fine ofc *main problem cant use the CWM backup/restore*
if you want to use ClockworkMod working 100% just find "adfad666" thread
and CyanogenMod 10.0 jLo fxp 205 so far , its stable for now with sub lil bugs left , just wait till we get full fixed CM 10.0 , and J ready to rock
so far i think J its a cheap but valuable devices to learn new things *since im new on android , still got a lot to learn*
and J its not build to be extreme gaming device imo.

I think yes, this phone is cheap and it does have what you need..
Its around $210 in my country..
And this will be update to JB

I have xperia tipo, galaxy s2
And my friends have xperia go, sola and ace 2 these are best in this price
And u can search a bit at xda u will find xperia j is lagging for some people
And if u are a gamer than u must know the performance difference between single and dual core CPU
Also if u don't care about 720p videos but if u are getting 720p video playback than there should be no problem..
U can compare the review at gsmarena.com of xperia j ,go , sola and galaxy ace2 u will find yourself... The difference:good:
U want multitasking the Mobiles I suggested u above give u better.. Than xperia j
And also galaxy ace 2 has 768mb ram and is also upgradable to jellybean...

Should I buy xperia j? With all those problems?

I'm planning to order an xperia j in a week or two,but i saw that many people have problems with it.Some say that sony just released some defective phones,and that's why.
I'm just scarred that I might end up with a defective one too,sure I can change the os,but if the problem is hardware,then what?!
Also,the big problem is that there isn't a big error,like the phone not starting up,so if I take it to be repaired with the warranty,what am I gonna say? Hey,the phone lags in games,that's the problem?!

then dont get a j. games like gta maxpayne and so on are not ment for a 1ghz processors. you can always get a 2011 flag ship for the same money but thats 2 year old hardware. its like the old saying goes you get what you pay for. the j's rival galaxy ace 2 even though its a duo core its only a 800mhz processor same as xperia miro. i my self love my j its a good little phone in my opinion.

No, go for Xperia Arc S, Xperia Neo, Xperia Pro. There is better out there for same price.
And these are not faulty models. Everything is working ok in every model. Only phones above cost the same and are better (processor, games, screen).
Don't worry about defective phones as they are not.

why is xperia j faulty?

if u got low money , J its suitable for u , since x acro s are expensive , and un-removable battery
J got long live battery .. and moveable
J maybe have singel core , but remember more core , more battery use ,
some xperia have dual core , but when i visit their forum , a lot of them want to "off" the other core , and they still on GB.
J got an offcial update to JB at the end of march 2013..
if u have more money , Sammy S3 mini , HTC sensation XE its not a bad choice imo.

My gf using xperia j.. XJ is a good phone, but not for gaming.. its suitable for you if you need a phone only for entertain media and messeging.

I've bought this telephone and i love it! It's very cool, but with stock ICS it sometimes lag... with cm10 i haven't more lags and i can overclock my CPU... it's a very good phone!

Go for Xperia go, u, sola or galaxy ace (though it had 800mhz processor it is twice fast than j)
Don't go with arc s, neo etc they are worse than XJ....:laugh:

It is not faulty
It is due to low specs of j
As u see only andreno 200 which is quite weak for it...
That's why it lags etc....:victory:

@up
Stop it!!
You're wrong and stop writing untruth!!!
Even the phones like SGS II, SGS 3 can be lag, both in daily work and games, so don't write with a weak GPU that is in the XJ because it is not normal adreno200 but it's significantly improved. Just go to my channel on YouTube and look at yourself as advanced 3D games work on SXJ

For a permanent fix,Just update your phone

I will get mine next week as of now searching to find the cheapest deal Meanwhile request here for a forum if you haven't already - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660354&page=842

Hope so ROM will improve the display and battery life, I will pick mine up probably this week

^depends on popularity, as of now L doesn't have much of a competition in its price range (apart from l9 with inferior specs) so its more or less bound to get some decent activity here and if that happens we'll easily attract devs

Any one bought it yet? It was selling for 16k in hs18 2 days back

I have using mine for a week and I love it. I moved from an Xperia Neo to this phone, they aren't coparable. I can hardly wait for rooting.

Future Xperia L User
In a few hours from now, i will be holding on to my Xperia L bought from Malaysia!
Woohoo!! can't wait to feel it and experience the positive reviews of it!
Well, downside do exist, but to those people who say that this phone is a crap, hold it right there and keep it to yourself.. haha!!
Let's make it popular!

The display is good. I had S2 and hated over-saturated colors and the tint, O.O Battery life is good, too. There's a slight problem with the bloatware draining battery uselessly and the famous media scanner bug in 4.1.x
It's a good phone in this range, probably the best. Although Camera is a little too horrible.

I found the camera "OK", will buy mine tomo for 16.5k i.e after selling my E6

Ok bro, had not seen!!! :victory:

I am thinkin of buying this one in a 2 weeks my budget is rs.20000(approx 350usd)
or sp if i could raise my budget a bit
i wanted to knw the gaming performance of this device and is it better than s2 except for super amoled display?

I'm making an autoroot kernel for XL which will also help you in getting a separate forum as well. I may also work on a custom kernel to remove capped 1 GHz frequency.
Can anyone send me stock kernel.sin?

I will help you to get ftf firmware file. So if you break anything with rooting or somehow you can always go back to what your phone came when you bought it. A complete noob can do it.
You only need to reflash your phones firmware with SMUS and upload few files to web.
You don't void warranty and you do not need root.
It'll help you to get forums maybe
Interested PM me, it will cost you nothing I promise.

it is not a very good idea to work blindly for a device (especially kernels)
to be specific I would like to say
1. do not work blindly on a device if you do not own at least a similar device (similar or same SoC and vendor, like all the 2011 Xperias)
2. even if working on a device is not a problem, releasing it to a place like XDA makes it a tad dangerous for the users.

And what do you mean by I probably didn't know the school part?

Low-resolution camera (3 megapixels)
The camera lacks autofocus
The camera lacks flash
No front-facing camera

Nice phone, just a bit dissapointed that it has a 3mp camera

Yeah, I think I'm happy with this device, it has a great camera, sometimes it took great shots, but sometimes don't, but I pretty much took a great ones, and then, for perfomance it is decent to powerful, it sometimes a little lagged, but just sometimes, but that lag isn't disturbing anyway, but no confirmation about future updates like 4.3 or 4.4 firmwares, but I'll keep posting about what's new on Xperia L's software updates here, jist for informing you, and for battery, it is bad to decent, but with active use, it lasts at like 7-10 hours without recharging, with my experience for nearly 10 month using it,
Just reminding it's specs for you :
- 8 Megapixels Camera, Exmor RS Sensor, HD Video Recording.
- Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean
- Dual Core 1 GHz, Qualcomm Snapdragon 400, MSM8230 Chipset
- 4.3" 854x480, TFT LCD Display
- 1GB RAM, 8GB Internal Storage
- Lithium Ion, 1750 mAh Battery
- Available colours : Black, White, Red.
- Pricing at around 2999000 IDR or at around 266 USD
